FCO decide travelling to Costa xyz is now not advised Client advises OTB/LH that they want to cancel for a full refund, which ABTA says they can have within 14 days. Easyjet/Ryanair still run the flights to that destination and tell OTB/LH to get fucked. So, to abide by ABTA rules, they have to refund the client despite not getting the money back from the airline. How can that be fair?

If the FCO says no then surely they should refund? What are you expected to do, claim on insurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted September 18, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2020 Final day in Mykonos today having been in Santorini and Naxos. I’ll be amazed if I’m more at risk of bringing Covid back than I would have been if I’d stayed at home. Ah well, at least my 2020/21 tax bill will be lower as a result of holidays so every little helps towards paying for the next one.

Aye Sounds like the budget airlines being years there But then again, the government advice needs to be joined up, if you can’t go somewhere then don’t allow it and financially support that decision. Compensate airlines, travel firms etc Or just let folk crack on and have a holiday without having to hibernate when they get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to quarantine in Thailand though for 2 weeks under their plans. Currently you’re not allowed in unfortunately so my trip in December is looking highly unlikely. a soapy wank at Annie’s will need to wait for another year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boby Brno Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 They say behind every great man is a great woman and my great woman is 60 a week on Monday. Last year we planned a few options. New York, Sydney, a cruise or our normal trip to Prague . Obviously things have changed. Still trying to work around the ever changing situation but was elated to hear that Blackpool has avoided any further restrictions. Fish, chips and a stick of rock. The simple things in life are very underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
